In the opening film of this year's festival, director Ryan Ward further develops the story of Sonny (Ward) who struggles with Tourette's Syndrome and, along with his 12-year-old daughter Hildie (Nyah Perkin), tries to escape his past. But Hildie longs for a normal family life, so she befriends a bunch of outcasts in the wilderness. Little does she know, however, that her new friends want to exploit the supernatural powers her father is so desperate to hide from the world. This slow-burning, beautiful, melancholic film about human fragility and the relationship between father and daughter will aim straight for your heart. The film will be presented in Prague by the director himself together with the film's producer Mackenzie Leigh.
